Almost all of the patches you can identify by 'Googleing' WWII US shoulder patches.
- Here is one of the better pages I've found:
Division insignia of the United States Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I only know the 'US Army Commendation Medal' (center) and the
'US WWII Victory Medal' on the ribbon bar.........

As Steve polity said, try and look around yourself first, if you cant find it still then post.

To KMMorris: I was under the impression members of this site liked posts where they could share their knowledge. At least that's been my experience with this great site up until now. I by no means was trying to avoid researching these items. I find that I need a head start with doing the research and then I go off and do my own. I'm new at collecting for only about 2 years so I don't know much about anything. I just know I love the history behind older military items. And I find this site wonderful because I get to learn new things every week. I guess some members find it insulting? who knew..
I think the blue and white one (looks like the Chrysler logo) in the bottom right is US Army V Corps.
Gday Phil,
Was sitting on an old page and did not notice your reply.
All the best mate

Although I did make the 'suggestion' of self research, I did not intend to be harsh
or offensive, and I apologize if I came across that way. There are so many other
US patches that WWII US SSI (shoulder sleeve insignia) patch ID is rather
simple - but it all takes time to learn.
Today thankfully, the internet provides answers to so many things
with the push of a key, where in the past it took even more
time and effort, as well as a keen interest.
I see no harm in asking, and I would never want to discourage
anyone from entering the hobby or furthering their
knowledge of militaria.........
Regards,
Steve.
